Warning signs clear on NSW coastline

Warning signs in Sydney's southeast, where a young woman drowned after being swept off rocks while posing for a photograph, adequately warn visitors of the dangers in the area, authorities say.

A 24-year-old international student was with friends on Sunday afternoon at La Perouse when a large wave washed her into the water near Bare Island.

Her body was discovered by divers submerged in the water half an hour later.

National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) said there were no plans to increase signage in the area.

A NPWS spokesman told AAP warning signs were in place at La Perouse at the top of the steps and down to the rock shelf warning visitors about slippery areas, unstable surfaces, high surf and unfenced cliffs.

Signage warning of the danger is also located at the carpark on the La Perouse headland, she said.

Authorities say the signs use international pictographs to illustrate the warnings, but does not include messages in languages other than English.
